K-League wrap: Steelers hold off Jeonbuk

Pohang Steelers overcame second-placed Jeonbuk Motors, while Gwangju prevailed after trailing by three goals in the K-League on Saturday.

Goals from Hwang Jin-Sung, Ko Mu-Yeol and Lee Myeong-Ju handed Pohang a 3-2 win over Jeonbuk in the championship round at Steelyard Stadium.

Hwang and Ko scored inside the first 12 minutes before Jeonbuk forward Lee Dong-Gook, who scored in South Korea's 2-1 loss to Australia on Wednesday, continued his run of good form with a goal three minutes later.

Lee Myeong-Ju found the net on the stroke of half-time, though the margin was reduced to one goal when Lee Dong-Gook struck again with seven minutes to go.

Jeonbuk pushed in search of an equaliser but fell short as Pohang provisionally climbed to third on the table.
